“It's extremely overwhelming, and not only by honoring Chris, but I like to think it honors all law enforcement. All these people who are waving these blue ribbons on their motorcycles signifies the thin blue line and law enforcement. I don't think we appreciate them as much as we should,” said Kilcullen.

Last year the event raised more than 17,000 for the Chris Kilcullen Memorial Scholarship Fund, and organizers hope to raise even more this year.
